Re: Packers Offseason Philosophy: Least Important Positions
Posted: 16 Feb 2022 14:19
Great topic and posts y'all. I think I agree with many.
If AR is here or not I think the same attack can be deployed. In short Pass rush and build in the trenches. Deploy a D that will keep you in games and find ways to score 20+
The D right now has stars on all levels. A thing successful defenses have. Up front Clark and Gary are dudes. Z is more then likely gone but find a way to keep Preston long term. What a team player that knew he didn't play well in 2020 and set out to be better. He's a guy you keep that doesn't break the bank.
I'm still attacking the DL and pass rush in the draft.
Wyatt or Leal early next to KC would give us some nasty early in the draft.
The elite pass rushers are more then likely gone (unless AR trade) but there are guys that could sub package later.
My dark horse if he gets all the legal mess cleared is Adam Anderson. Yes the off field stuff is bad bad but if he's innocent this is the guy you want. A top 10 talent compared to von Miller. I'm a firm believer you can never have enough pass rush
The talent in the secondary is there. True lock down Jaire. A young riser in Stokes (just find some ball skills kid) find a way to get Douglas back and this group is as good as any.
Safeties might not be set long term. I want Amos but Savage looked awful this year and might be a surprise move. Finding his replacement and a 3rd safety is a must. Jalen Pitre has started to get buzz. He can cover and flys around. Honestly to get on topic
I feel FS is this teams least important position per say. As long that the player is assignment sure he can be hidden. If he plays like crap it's an issue but I don't think this guy needs to be a star. Amos is as sure thing as they come. Not flashy but never out of position. Savage looked lost at times last year. He's got the tools just hasn't put it together. Unless he plays at an all pro level he's not worth a second contract imo.
Add pieces up front and this D could be one of the best for the next 3-5 years easy.
I'll cover O in another post
